I have been running EPG Collector for a few months now and it seems reasonably robust although on the odd occasion it exits with no data for some reason. I am using a Nova-T DVB-T card.

Now when I run it, I always get no data - actually epgcollector times out even though it appears to have found the stations etc. For example see this log.

At the end it says collecting MHEG5 data and after running for about 2 minutes with the machine at 100% CPU it just times out.

Does anybody know what this could be?  I am getting data from Kau Kau on an external UFH antenna.

Thanks
